See if the following helps. The electrons, as they flow, carry heat away from the junction. In the thermocouple, heating increases the electron flow. In the Peltier device, the voltage produces the electron flow that carry the heat from one metal to the other. Thus, one metal gets hotter and the other gets colder. ******************************************************************************* Sooner or later reality bites you in the ass *******************************************************************************
